We got out of jail with ghost goal, admits Levein

Craig Levein admitted Hearts got “out of jail” last night when Hibs were denied a clear goal during the Edinburgh derby at Tynecastle Park.

The Hearts boss said: “We did get out of jail. I hear that shot was in, but we need something like that. We haven’t had an awful lot of joy with those kind of decisions.

“I think it was a centimetre over the line. Jon said to me that he thought it was in. We’ve had a lot of things go against us in recent times so we’ll take that one.” (Evening News)

Canning unhappy with postponement

Martin Canning hit out at referee Barry Cookafter the whistler called off Hamilton’s clash with Kilmarnock after deciding the all-weather pitch as unplayable.

Cook’s decision just 80 minutes before kick-off angered Canning, who said: “For me, it’s playable. Obviously it’s been cold and there was a lot more snow than we’d expected. But the groundsman worked hard to clear the pitch and if the referee had been willing to give it another half an hour the game could have gone on.” (The Sun)
